Anybody notice the new "track contribution" screen now shows all contributions in that entry

It used to be when you entered something, like trivia, that was eligible for "track contribution" beta program, that the tracking was only for items that were eligible. It now has all items within the contribution whether they would be individually eligible or not. Check it out.

Pretty cool to see what has been processed and what is still processing. This is a great improvement IMDb. I only hope this roles out soon for all contributions.

Nevertheless, over the weekend, I submitted some translated titles and one goof (different movies, each in separate submissions) but no "track contribution" link on these.
Most likely it will be coming soon.

Thanks for the lead.My feedback: it is nice looking, but I do not want it. I am tired of all the wasted space forcing you to scroll and scroll and scroll... For a contribution monitoring, I just need a compact view to quickly access the information I need. If IMDb provides both, it will be fine, but I will not use this new and lovely display.

Thank you for the feedback. Just to make sure I understand, is it the lack of compactness (having whitespace between different pieces of data, showing images with contributions, etc.) that you dislike or is it the scrolling to load more contributions? Or both?

Thanks for reporting both of these issues. The page should load fine for everyone regardless of how many items they've contributed, and the amount of items in a contribution should be consistent across the two pages. I'll document these for the team to investigate.

Obviously, the displayed items are just a sample, so I cannot assess the "load more" function, which I usually do not mind.I am explicitely reacting to the lack of compactness and much too much empty white useless spaces.

"Oct 23 2018 - Hi everyone,In addition to more contribution tracking details, we're also experimenting with a new contribution history view that helps you see the status of your contributions more easily.We've made it available in a testing phase and would love to hear any feedback you have. It's available at https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history ..."

We're experimenting with this new history page at https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history to learn more about what our contributors want from a history view and how we can best communicate information about the status of contributions. It is not fully launched, so we have not communicated it to all users.

The Invention of the Wheel comes to mind!!!!!WoW‘SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousFor those that want to know what that is!su·per·ca·li·fra·gil·is·tic·ex·pi·a·li·do·cious/ˌso͞opərˌkaləˌfrajəˌlistikˌekspēˌaləˈdōSHəs/adjectiveinformal

This new contribution history page is currently missing several data types, but should include some data types that were not already trackable, including filmography, title and name urls, certificates, keywords, release dates, soundtracks, and bio data.

We know it's frustrating to not have a central history page that includes all of your contributions and are working to solve that problem. Sorry for any confusion we might have caused in the meantime.

My observation is that this new page only shows contributions that had a beta trackable contribution. It does show contributions that aren't part of the beta tracking program. However, the contribution must include an item that is trackable.

So, Peter, if your edits don't contain something like trivia, then it won't show up on this new page.

The reason "Not enough evidence" doesn't give any suggestion how to supply more evidence.

The reason "Does not meet contribution guidelines" includes a link to http://www.imdb.com/updates/guide/#atoz, which is redirected to the new help site. The best thing would be if the link could be much more specific based on the type of submission.

Evidently there is something going on with loading this new beta page. I refreshed it a few times and kept getting an error. A few minutes later, another reload brings up the page. There is probably a lot of data to load for some of us.

I've noticed another inconsistency on this page. For some TV episodes, it shows both the TV show name and the episode title. For other TV episodes, it just shows the episode title. It would be helpful if it always showed the TV show name and the episode title.

We have discovered that gender updates are not accurately reflected when tracking cast contributions and will work on fixing that issue.

As for your company update, foley work classifies a company under the post-production services and facilities type instead of miscellaneous since foley sound effects are added after filming ends. This was changed in processing but evidently not reflecting on the contribution tracking page. I'll report this issue to the team - nice work spotting it!

Thanks for continuing to report these issues and helping us to improve the tracking experience. I'll keep you posted as we make progress on these issues and apologize for any confusion they cause in the meantime.

The Images are far Too Large.They take up too much space.The need to be shrunk. That's for Photo submissions or deletions.Title Photos are not necessary.Also is it me or is the auto page extension annoying.I personally think that the page by page method is better.Because of this auto page extension it is impossible to maintain a count total of submissions.

Aside from the previously reported issue where submissions to TV Episodes don't show the Series name, I think one of the biggest things that bother me is the lack of detail. Compare the old display to the new display. The new display doesn't show (at a glance) anything about what was submitted.

Count me in on the "images are WAY TOO BIG" thread as well. At most they should be about as big as the images in filmography listings, etc... (less than 50 pixels tall)Thanks.

in the "new" display (https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history, still in test), you can get exactly the same information, plus the status (pending/approved/rejected) and when clicking on "View Contribution Details", the detail of your submission items (before/after) and the rejected items will be explained.

I understand that not having the information about what data was in your contribution at a glance can be frustrating. Based on the feedback from you and everyone else on this thread, we're exploring ways to improve this new history page and make it more useful for everyone.

Please stay tuned for our progress, and thank you for your help in improving IMDb.

I
agree with Ron. I’d rather be able to see the type of submission
that was submitted on the main contribution history page, as we
currently can. You are unable to tell (in beta) if it's a trivia,
image, plot summary or cast addition (etc) that has been submitted,
whereas you can at the moment. Having to click on "View
Contribution Details" to find out this detail is frustrating.

I
must say, that I’m very happy to see image submissions have been
added to the contribution history!

I disagree with adding more information to the contribution page. It will just clutter up the page and all the information you are looking for is a click away where it makes more sense to display it because it also gives you the status of the those contributions.

Karen, if you're only adding one or two items at a time, then I agree it doesn't hurt much to add that detail.

But personally, my submissions often include 50-100 items scattered across 20 or more categories, and that's when listing them starts to look like clutter. Here's the summary of one of my submissions earlier today:

So do I Phil. I average 300-400 submissions a day at the moment. Since there's a problem with trivia submissions at the moment that IMDB Support have been looking into, I've been submitting more entries in other types of submissions. Previously I was averaging around 100 trivia items a day.

I see what you're saying, but wouldn't your example above just warrant a "Cast added" or "Crew added"? What does it show in the current contribution history format? I've never submitted anything to crew, only cast - but do crew submissions actually specify each entry as you've shown above? I can certainly see how that would be a problem.

(I copied the list above from the new contribution details page, but...) yes, the old history page shows a separate line for each and every department within the crew. As I see it, that level of detail now belongs on the contributions details page, not the main page, but I wouldn't object to a very brief summary such as 'cast, crew, trivia updated' on the main page.

Incidentally, it took me a while to figure out why that list of categories seemed to be in a random order. It looks like the new contributions details page orders the categories according to the number of items I've updated within each.

That order may be of some use to someone, but for me it just makes it much harder to find any specific item within the page. Sorting the categories alphabetically (or better, the same order as the update form) would be more predictable and useful (or for bonus points, let us choose the sort order ourselves).

Adding the summary that appears at the top of the details page - for example

would be more compact than the old line by line format. It is more than really needed I think but may perhaps be easier to do.

We have the same problem with the order in that list - number of items order even though the numbers are not there. I agree with Phil G that alphabetical or the same order as the update form would be better. Note that here we have "Miscellaneous" where the update form has "Other Crew" and I think that being last in the Cast and Crew section of the update form is the main difference from alphabetical order in that section.

One way in which I have used the old format summary is when adding credits to another episode of the same series where the number of credits per section tends to be similar even if the credits are not always the same. It is useful to be able to select a suitable number from the "Add x credits" dropdown for each relevant section so that I do not have to go round the re-check cycle adjusting the numbers. Getting to the equivalent information on the new page takes rather longer as you have to view details and then shrink the list of all approved items (or scroll down past all those items) to get to the individual sections with their counts. Having the same order as the update form would be really helpful here too.

My exact point.The pictures make it too large!Look at all the wasted space.Why on earth would you want to have only 25 items taking up the space where 100 items would fit just to have a photo?Put the photo in the details if needed.Those photos above are the main poster photos, which have nothing to do with the the submission.If you were submitting an image for removal or inclusion, by all means post the photo within the submission, but not on the outside. It takes up too much space. I have 250 of those same photos. It is redundant. They need to go away.

There seems to be an issue with accented characters sometimes displaying the html entity instead of the actual character...

Curiously, it displays fine for a contribution at series level, but the series title gets mangled when shown on an episode contribution. I've never noticed this issue anywhere else on IMDb, so what are you doing differently when displaying episodes on the new contributions page?
